Preparing for the Online Course Approval Form

The Online Course Approval form will ask for course details such as class name, number, department, course description, typical offerings, and expected enrollment per semester. You will also be asked to answer questions about the following online-specific details of the course:

• Why should this course be offered online? You may focus on pedagogical, enrollment management, scheduling and other considerations impacting student success.
• Will the class by offered asynchronously or synchronously? [Note: Currently only asynchronous courses are eligible for course development with the Office of Digital Learning.]
• All online courses must assign one identity verification assessment or experience per course. You must include your intended identity verification assessment in the Online Course Approval form; however, this assessment may change once you have begun course development. You can learn more about this requirement by visiting the Provost’s Office webpage on student identity verification for online classes.
• What are your initial plans for student engagement and communication? This may include online discussions, virtual office hours, optional Zoom meetings, group activities, etc.
